Inserção de conceitos e experimentos físicos nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: uma análise à luz da teoria de vigotski

In this paper, we analyze the educational importance of teaching Physics in the early grades of elementary school from a teaching experience with students of 5th grade, using five experiments on electricity and magnetism. The theoretical framework used was the socio-historical psychology, especially Vigotski's studies on concept formation. It can be stated that the teaching of Physics and the use of experimental activities in the early grades cannot be simply associated to the teaching of certain scientific concepts, but should be explored bearing in mind the child's development.

A relação teoria e prática em projetos de educação ambiental desenvolvidos em um bairro de Bauru, SP, Brasil

This study examines the relationship between theory and practice that emerges from two Environmental Projects that were carried out in a popular neighborhood of Bauru, SP, . In order to analyze the data, given the diversity of theoretical and practical approaches and concepts in environmental education, we chose as a theoretical foundation critical environmental education. Considering the techniques used in the methodological procedures of qualitative research in education, we elected, as a tool to collect information, content analysis. The results presented in this paper indicate the need to break the dichotomy between form (practice) and content (theory) in the environmental educational process, focusing on the systematized and historically constructed contents. Thus, we consider the environmental education process analyzed involve treating form and content as a dialectic unit.

O grupo de estudos e discussão como subsídio ao desenvolvimento de interações discursivas entre professores de física sobre a temática teoria da relatividade

Based on the assumption that the exchange of knowledge can support a process of self-organized interactions of the involved in the process, we present the results of a study about how happen the dialogue between physics teachers involved in a group of study of Modern and Contemporary Physics. With the support of the propositions of Bakhtin about the potential of the discourse and discursive interactions studies, we identified interesting regularities in how organize discussions among teachers, identifying a scheme that allows us to infer the effectiveness of the enforcement of this form of lead and mediate the discussions in groups of continuous formation of physics teachers to other topics, as well as adding arguments in defense of the groups of discussion as a strategy for continuing formation of teachers.

Criança não é manga, não amadurece: conceito de maturação na teoria histórico-cultural

The idea of "mature development" is based, frequently, on explanations of school failure: the student does not learn because he is immature and the school has to wait until he gets "mature". When one says that a child is not mature compared to the development already attained by an adult, one focuses only the quantitative differences between them and forgets that these new qualities of the adult did not arise by the maturation, but by the permanent appropriation process of the human culture. Thus, this idea of "maturity of development" expresses a deep biologization of the human being, reducing social and educational problems explanation to the biological apparatus of the individual. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the relationship between maturation and development, pointing out the limits of biologists’ explanations of human phenomena and the possibilities of explanation formulated by the historical-cultural theory to the organization of pedagogical work. This concept gives a new configuration to the role of maturation in the learning process and gives the school education a central role in the development of higher psychological functions. Thus, the school does not have to wait for the child’s maturation. Rather, it is its duty to create conditions for his/her maturation to become effective.

Teoria ou Prática ? O movimento pendular dos cursos de Comunicação no Brasil e a abordagem do esporte

Al principio, no parece ser difícil justificar la presencia del deporte en nuestro escenario de la vida contemporánea. Paradójicamente, sin embargo, ¿por qué el deporte, todavía, sigue siendo objeto de discriminación por la academia brasileña e incluso una parte importante del mercado de la comunicación? ¿Por qué en las entidades científicas brasileñas, con raras excepciones, el deporte sigue siendo visto como un "tema menor"? Frente a estas circunstancias, este ensayo pretende reflexionar sobre el enfoque del deporte con alumnos de los cursos de licenciatura en comunicación en instituciones brasileñas, con el fin de superar la vieja dicotomía entre la teoría y la práctica a través del valor epistemológico de la enseñanza de las humanidades.

Breve história afetiva de uma teoria torcida

Neste artigo apresento alguns aspectos históricos e epistemológicos que cercaram a recepção de teoria queer no Brasil e seus desdobramentos políticos, preocupando-me, ainda, em oferecer elementos conceituais que ajudem a situar os aportes dessa proposta para estudantes de graduação, mas não apenas para esse público. O texto se divide em três momentos: (1) breve contextualização do surgimento e das propostas dos estudos queer como campo teórico de contestações relativas ao cenário político e acadêmico dos anos de 1980 nos Estados Unidos e sua chegada ao Brasil no início deste século; (2) as tensões locais entre movimento social e teoria queer, concentrando-me nos argumentos teóricos que temos acionado para apontar o potencial político desta vertente e, finalmente (3) procuro discutir as singularidades da produção teórica nacional associada ao queer, propondo uma epistemologia cucaracha para uma teoria cu, ou seja, um conjunto reflexivo que nos permita pensar para além dos limites canônicos de uma ciência de matriz heteronormativa

Introdução à teoria de Poincaré-Bendixson para campos de vetores planares

O Teorema de Poincaré-Bendixson é um resultado muito importante no estudo de Sistemas Dinâmicos, pois ele estabelece para quais tipos de conjunto limite as trajetórias de um campo de vetores em IR2 deve convergir. Neste trabalho vamos abordar a Funç˜ao do primeiro Retorno de Poincaré, além de discutir a estabilidade de Ciclos Limites e provar o Teorema de Poincaré-Bendixson.

Os saberes da Educação Física nas perspectivas dos alunos: panorama da literatura e uma proposta de investigação a partir da 'teoria da relação com o saber'

The lack of interest and motivation, and the self-exclusion from Physical Education classes by Secondary and High School students is pointed out in the specific literature as a pedagogical problem for that discipline. Most studies dealing with the issue present only descriptive data, gathered from the quantification of responses given by students to questionnaires, and they lack a more consistent theoretical framework for both the generation of data as to its interpretation. The objectives of this article are: (i) to present an overview of published studies that address the perspectives of students in relation to their Physical Education classes at school, in terms of attitudes, opinions, tastes, motivation, and development; and (ii) to propose theoretical foundation and methodological guidelines for one future field based research that allows better understanding on how Secondary and High School students’ relationship to school Physical Education knowledge occurs, in order to contribute for advances regarding the results and conclusions on such thematics. We suggest that the definition of the research problem, the generation and interpretation of the data must take as reference the "theory of the notion of the relationship to knowledge", by Bernard Charlot, for whom the school knowledge must be understood in its relations with learning beings. The methodological direction should be guided by "qualitative research" general parameters in Education, using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with students. Hopefully, in this way, indicators informed by research might contribute to improving the quality of teaching in lessons, in order to provide the students with opportunities for meaningful learning.

A inclusão da natação na vida da pessoa com deficiência: uma análise a partir da teoria ecológica do desenvolvimento

The objective of thisstudy was to verify, using the Ecological Development Theory (EDT), as the practice and swimming learning for People With Disabilities (PWD) causes changes to both the practitioner and in other environments experienced by it as well as the other environments influence the learning to swim. The study included 16 PWD, students linked university extension project, Department of Physical Education of UNESP Bauru, taught by coordinators LAPEF, which aims to includes wimming in the PWD ofevery day life, students linked to an institution of Bauru-SP, three employees of the institution and two swimming project teachers.Interviews with the families of the students were made, with the institution s employees, with the project teachers and analyze thes wimming lessons applied in the project for one semester. Based on the results we can say that the practice and learnings wimming for PWD causes changes to both the practitioner and for other environments experienced by her (home, institution) and also, what other environments experienced by PWD influence in practice and process of learning to swim. Using the terminology of EDT, we conclude that theme so system (home activities institution) influences in the microsystem (swimming lessons) and the microsystem influences the mesosystem, so the activity was significant and temporal persistence influencing the development of PCD.
